I had the great fortune to meet someone recently that has the right attitude about making lemonade out of the bumper crop of lemons we are experiencing this year.

There have been few times in recent history with this number of complex challenges staring at us in everything that we do. As individuals, we cannot solve these issues alone, but we can hold our leaders from local politicians to congress and the next President accountable. We can make good decisions with our finances, demand accountability from our elected officials and challenge the leaders in our businesses to do more than focus on the short-term. We can support our troops even if we disagree with the policies, and we can cast our vote this November. It's a great time for leaders everywhere to stand up and be counted.

While successfully managing projects is a tough task, I do not believe that we are dealing with a degree of impossibility. If project success is critical to your organization's advancement, everyone from the CEO on down has a vested interest in ensuring that greater than 10% of the project teams take on the characteristics of a high-performance environment.
